Ordonnance du DFI sur les denrées alimentaires d'origine animale. Language(s): French. Number of pages: 2

Snails of the family of Helicidae, Hygromiidae or Sphincterochilidae are added to the list of permitted snails for human consumption.

Frogs' legs of the genus Pelophylax from the family of Ranidae, and the genus Fejervarya, Limnonectes and Hoplobatrachus from the family of Dicroglossidae, are added to the list of permitted animals for human consumption.

Due to changes in eating habits, frogs' legs and snails of other species are also produced and placed on the market for human consumption. The specific hygiene rules should therefore be extended to cover those species to ensure the safety of food derived from these species.
